Venue details

Radisson Beke Hotel, Budapest

Terez Korut, 43
H-1067 Budapest
Hungary

Built in the beginning of the last century, the four star Radisson SAS Béke Hotel in Budapest is decorated with frescoes of Jeno Haranghy and stained glass windows. The hotel first opened its doors in 1914 and has been renovated several times, but has always maintained its original artistic style, form and atmosphere.   Located in downtown Budapest on the Grand Boulevard, the Radisson SAS Béke Hotel is in easy reach of shopping and the city's monuments, including the Heroes' Square, the Opera, the Academy of Music, and the Danube. The airport is 23 kilometres away from the hotel, while the railway station is just a 10-minute walk. Guests can use the public transportation system, as there are two underground stations and two tram stations no further than 200 metres from the hotel.
